Thread Name: Lyr Req: The Dear Green Place (Adam McNaughtan)
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Glasgow I belong to .. dear green pla
Yes, it is on his "Last Stand on Mount Florida" (no idea where that title comes from), first song on a tape that also includes Cholesterol (song noles tell us that "Glasgow is recognized as the heart disease capital of the universe. Glasgow doesnae care"), The Green Belongs to Glasgow's Folk (typically poking fun at the city planners), Thomas Muir of Hunters Hill (commemorating another radical popular hero), The Scottish Song (which recaps Shakespeare, much as Adam did with Hamlet, Hamlet)...... Anyway, I'm wait for the rest of the words. McNaughtan's songs have a wonderfully irreverent spirit.
